From the organizers: Please join St. Paul’s in welcoming Irish recording artists Tommy and Saundra O’Sullivan for an evening of traditional and original Irish music. Tommy and Saundra own, manage and perform at O’Sullivan’s Courthouse Pub in Dingle on the wind-swept southwest coast of Ireland, a renowned center for Irish Folk Music. Tommy is a master guitarist with “A tenor voice that has all the ring of Waterford crystal which has only ever served smokey whiskey”– Sean Laffey, Irish Music Magazine. His wife and musical partner Saundra hails from Texas and was a nurse in her former life. Of them, the prolific Irish music reviewer Nicky Rossiter said: “The husband-and-wife team from Dingle must surely be the best exponents of what Irish folk should be.” If all goes as planned, Tommy and Saundra will be joined by local Irish musicians and maybe even dancers! Please join us for a memorable event. St. Paul’s Cathedral is a San Diego architectural treasure and wonderful acoustic venue. The O’Sullivan’s concert series is sponsored in part by a travel grant from Culture Ireland. All profits from your $20 per ticket donation will go to support the Friends of Cathedral Music at St. Paul’s Cathedral. Friends of Cathedral Music is the community outreach arm for the music department at St. Paul's, known throughout San Diego for its’ excellence and as a major contributor to the cultural life of the region. Your donation goes to support the wide array of musical offerings and resources the Cathedral annually offers in support of the community with practice and performance spaces for musicians, performers, and other artists from all around San Diego and the world. Groups ranging from San Diego Symphony, San Diego Youth Symphony, San Diego Master Chorale, Voices of Our City Choir (the “Golden Buzzer” recipients on America’s Got Talent), Villa Musica, student recitals, and more utilize the Cathedral spaces and unique assets throughout the year. Friends of Cathedral Music also provides funding for lessons for young musical scholars in financial need. Thank your support of this vital community program at the Cathedral.
